Where Kids love to Celebrate their Birthday – Party Planning for Parents in Lansing
I’ve been party planning and event planning for years and it’s SO MUCH FUN for me. Your local party organizing nerd – that’s me! Birthdays, fundraisers, you name it – I love it. But, this year my son’s birthday party plans ended up a complete disaster – so I thought.
It was the end of June and the sun had been shining non-stop for about 30 days straight. We planned to party till the sun went down at Hawk Island. The plan was to swim the day away then rinse off at the splash pad and finish up with a Minions Piñata. EPIC right?! Wrong. It thunder stormed ALL.DAY.LONG.
So, we improvised and headed to Zap Zone in Waverly. It ended up being a birthday party for the books and not just for the kids.
Zap Zone, Impression 5, Nature Centers, and other Fun Birthday Party Planning Options
Our change of party planning this year for my son landed us at Zap Zone. We purposed to jump for their half hour time limit and try out the new Ninja Warrior wall. My brother had a few passes to the laser tag course, and the kids talked us into doing a few arcade games. When we left it was 10pm! My husband joked that it was like Vegas – no clocks, no daylight, and arcade games instead of slots that keep spitting out tokens instead of coins. We adults shamelessly enjoyed ourselves just as much as the kids.
I tell you this story because my new party planning goals for my kids birthday parties are now going to be aimed at picking places where we ALL can have a blast – young and old. Because, what young kids love even more than having a fun party, is having a fun party with us. Bonus – it keeps us young. #bondinggoals
